dc.description.abstractWhen a student or staff member from a school dies by suicide, it can have a devastating impact on the school community. Research shows that suicide loss survivors are particularly vulnerable to intense emotions, a perceived lack of social support, and are exposed to a risk of contagion due to the traumatic and stigmatizing nature of the death. The objective of this capstone is to explore the effects that suicide bereavement can have on students, staff, and family members who are left behind, and to investigate critical incident responses and trauma-informed approaches that are currently being implemented by school districts in British Columbia. Recommendations for effective postvention in schools will be proposed based on the key elements of trauma-informed suicide-focused work. The theoretical perspective of trauma-informed practice and the decolonizing ideology of Two-Eyed Seeing will be used to guide the research in this capstone.
